Where the money goes
Estimated breakdown for your configuration
Granite is porous and needs periodic resealing to resist staining, factor an occasional reseal into the long-term cost.
Every granite slab is unique, so choose your actual slab at the yard rather than from a sample, colour and veining vary piece to piece.
Ways to save
- Standard granite colours cost far less than exotic imported ones.
- A simple pencil edge keeps fabrication cost down versus shaped or mitred edges.
How we estimate this
A granite benchtop in Australia typically costs $550 to $950 per square metre supplied and installed in 2026, so a 6m² kitchen is roughly $2,500 to $10,000. Stone grade, edge and finish drive the range.

What a granite benchtop costs in Perth
A granite benchtop in Perth is priced first on the specific slab selected, because granite is natural quarried stone whose cost ranges widely with its colour, its rarity and its grade, so a plain granite is far cheaper than a rare or imported exotic slab. The area, the edge, the cutouts and the fabrication follow, but the slab choice moves a granite quote most, since each slab is a one-off piece of rock rather than a catalogue colour.
Granite suits the conventional fitted kitchens of Perth's double-brick homes and appeals for the individuality of natural stone, with buyers often choosing the actual slab at the yard. The isolation of the WA market can add freight and lead time to a particular imported granite shipped across the country, so the slab's availability is a real part of the Perth picture. Being porous, granite is sealed on installation and resealed periodically to resist stains, which is its upkeep, and the hot, dry Mediterranean climate is no trouble for the sealed top. It takes a hot pan well. A stonemason templates, cuts and installs it under the dust controls for cutting stone, labour sits near the national average, and a licensed plumber connects the sink after the top is in.
Fabricating and installing a granite benchtop is specialist stonemasonry rather than a licensed building trade, done under the stone dust-control laws, though the sink and tap connections need a licensed plumber, in Western Australia under WA Building Services for the building side. For a Perth kitchen, the clearest way to price a granite benchtop is by the individual slab's colour and rarity, the freight on an imported slab, then the area, the edge and cutouts, and the fabrication.
